USER MANUAL Tester and programmer TP-TACT Before using the device, read the operating instructions carefully. Improper use may result in damage to the device or components supported by it. An updated version of this manual is available online: https://dte.com.pl/download/manual/tptact/...
When supplying a tester from another source (e.g. power generator), remember to ground 2. Application of the tester The TP-TACT device is intended for testing the operation and programming of the range of work of electronic turbocharger controllers. With TP-TACT it is possible to perform the following tests: •...
USB Connector Figure 3.1 TP-TACT should be connected with the cable to the power supply included in the kit. Turbocharger actuators, position sensors, boost control solenoid valves and DC motors are connected to the tester via the connection cable which has different versions, depending on the type of tested or programmed actuator.

TP-TACT User manual When connecting the turbocharger actuator you should pay special attention to the correct choice of the connection cable. Using the wrong cable, despite numerous protection measures used in the tester, may damage the actuator. Table 3.1 Actuator...
phase 2 – actuator test using sensor 2 (switch in position “1”) 3.2 Connecting DC motor The DC motor is connected to the TP-TACT device with a connection cable marked in blue/green. Cable tips should be connected directly to DC motor according to table 3.2. The order in which the tips are connected to the motor is not important.
3.4. Connecting boost control solenoid valve DC01 Boost control solenoid valves are connected to the TP-TACT via a connection cable (blue/green). Tips of this cable should be connected directly to valve terminals according to table 3.4. The order in which the tips are connected to the valve is not important.

TP-TACT User manual Fig. 4.1). One of the most common turbo actuator malfunctions is the failure of electric motor. It is difficult to diagnose because during the tests the actuator performs well, moving the VTG lever along the whole range of movement. The fault becomes apparent only after a turbocharger with such an actuator is mounted in a car.
TP-TACT User manual 5.4. Function: Sensor test This test enables checking voltage output of variable geometry position sensor. Tested position sensor should be connected according to section 3.3 of this manual. While the function is active, the following information is displayed on the screen:...
